Description

In The Dreadnought Boys on Battle Practice by John Henry Goldfrap, cousins Ned Strong and Herc Taylor, inspired by a battleship poster, enlist in the U.S. Navy seeking adventure beyond rural life. After a comic clash with bully Hank Harkins and reluctant approval from their grandfather, they begin naval training, discovering discipline, camaraderie, and harsh realities of life at sea.

Author

John Henry Goldfrap (1879–1917) was an English-born journalist who became one of the most prolific storytellers of America's early twentieth-century boys' book boom. His serial adventures captured a generation's hunger for courage, gadgetry, and the open road — wireless operators at sea, cadets aboard dreadnoughts, scouts on the range, motor rangers crossing the Sierras.
